Article Synopsis
  • The article discusses the importance of cooperative interactions between metal nanoparticles and their supports in enhancing intermolecular bond formation, specifically in cross-coupling reactions.
  • Kinetic and theoretical studies on supported gold catalysts reveal that the Lewis acid density of supports influences the number of active sites for these reactions, highlighting the role of metal-support cooperation.
  • Optimized supported Au catalysts, particularly the Au/α-FeO variant, demonstrate exceptional efficiency in C-O bond borylation and also facilitate direct C-N bond borylation, showcasing the potential benefits of improving metal-metal oxide interactions in catalysis.
